Note(s) : Notes bibliogr. Index
As the old ways of the commercial theatre were dying and American playwriting was
in crisis, the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center arose as a midwife to new plays and musicals,
introducing some of the most exciting talents of our time (including August Wilson,
Wendy Wasserstein, and Christopher Durang) and developing works that went on to win
Pulitzer Prizes and Tony Awards. Along the way, it collaborated with then-unknown
performers (like Meryl Streep, Michael Douglas, Courtney Vance, and Angela Bassett)
and inspired Robert Redford in his creation of the Sundance Institute. This is the
story of a theatrical laboratory, a place that transformed American theatre, film
and television
